PASSION FESTIVAL.
The Vote for the Most Popular
Young Lady.

1t has been decided to continue the
Passion Festival during the last two
nights of the week. Rev. Father Nor
gan, who has had the affair in charge
decided to extend it on account of the
general desire expressed by those who
have been regular attendants, and by the
ladies, who have worked untiringly since
its inception. Last night the Spanish
dancers attracted larger attendance
than usual, and next to Mr.. Sherman's
tableaux they proved to be the most
attractive feature the festival has had.
The various booths have been largely
patronized, and the profits turned over
will add greatly to the building fund.
The various contests as to the most pop.
ular persons are also adding con.
siderable amount to the fund, and
to-night's contest will probably be
very lively affair. Last night
the contest was for the most popular
young lady, the prize for which was an
elegant pair of opera glasses donated
by Emile Quarre, and was very close
anu eAcitinS, anu IL took cOnnllttoe Ol
five to decide as to the winner. The
three leading ladies, Miss Williams. Miss
Etchemendy and Miss Annie Carson,
had many warm supporters who placed
their money towards the close in the
hands of Mr.. Mesmer and his wife
without naming their choice. They
waited till the bell Of the clock an
nounced the close. When the bell
rang there was much confusion and ex'
citement, and number of gentlemen
sent up rounds of applause, thinking
their favorite had won. Between Miss
Carson and Miss Etchemendy, it was
difficult to decide, as some of the gen
tlemen had deposited, it was claimed,
couple of twenty-dollar pieces after
the bell had sounded the close. The
committee, after hearing all sides of the
affair, awarded the opera glasses to Miss
Etchemendy. The vote stood: Miss
Etchemendy us, Miss Carson 7O2, Mis-;
Alexander 507, Miss Williams III. Miss
Campbell ia. The programme for to-
night will be made up of the best selec
tions of the other evenings and viii
be followed by dance.

emotional lines and scenes. Mr.. VIM.

New YORK, June l6.-The Post says:
"a dispatch from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun of this morning, quotes q
gentleman of prominence in political
circles, probably Secretary Bayard, as
saying; "The order to return the car.
tured flags is one of the bravest and
most patriotic actions ever performed by
an executive of a great people. By a
stroke of his per, the President has
done more to unite the States and con.
firm the Union than all precedent proc.
lamations and legislation. There never
can be an united people so long as con.
querors in civil war glory over the
conquered, and anything which keeps
alive a feeling of the once. existing sec.
tional hatred should be wiped out. The
act of the President is brave, because it
has already aroused the rage of profes.

New YORK, June Let. Boulanger,

before the American Society OF Civil

"About $4,000, 900 cubic metres of the

waited has now been removed Tie also
asserted that the company has only
money enough on hand to continue work
four months longer and he doubted If De
Lesseps could raise any more money for
the company in France. The death rate
among the laborers was about go per
cent among the colored workmen and so
per cent among the white laborers per
annum. The company had great trorble

however, during the period parliament

On the resumption Of the debate ON
the Crimes Bill, Dillon called the atten.

refused to appoint committee to in
quire into the matter, and he was there.
fore bound to demand an open discus.
sion in Parliament. The eviction of
thirfy-five families disclosed features of
the greatest harshness. Seeing the
public interest in the matter, the gov
ernment ought to grant com mittee of
inquiry the same as after the Belfast
riots"
Balfour asked why Dillon raised the
question at the present time, when the
members know that the House must
report the Grimes Bill on Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO, June l6.-In speak
ing of the proposed line of steamers to
be established by the Marquis del Campo
in opposition to the Pacific Mail, Wen
ceslao Loaiza, a prominent shipper here,
said: 81 have received letter from
Madrid saying the vessels would soon
be out here, and that the Mexican gov.
ernment had eagerly backed the Mar
quis in his enterprise. 1t is no question
of selling out. The Marquis is enor-
mously rich and has a horror of COM
panies. He has successfully prevented
any competition with his line of steam
ers from Spain to Cuba and Mexico and
has made that line brilliant success.
L have also been told that it is not the
intention of the Marquis to run his
steamers to San Francisco at present,
but to make San Diego tho terminal

THE FIERY FOE.
Heroic Rescue from Its Death-
Dealing Onslaught.

SACRAMENTO, June l6.-The large jew
elry establishment of H. Wachorst, the
finest outside of San Francisco, came
near being destroyed by fire this after.
noon. The fire started in the basement,
which was filled with old boxes and
paper, and it is thought was ignited by
matches with which Wachorst's 3.year
old child was playing. Wachorst had
his attention attracted to the fire by
hearing the child scream and observing
that it came from the basement, he hur-
riediy went there through small trap
door in the floor of the store. A mass
of smoke and flame greeted him, but
unmindful of anything but his boy, the
frenzied father leaped into the seethine
mass and in moment clambered back
through the opening, begrimed anc
blinded with the smoke. His hair
eyebrows and whiskers were badly
singed, but he was dragging his half
suffocated boy by the hair. The fire dc
partment was hampered in their effort
to get at the flames by the basemen
iron doors which were securly bolted to
gether. The doors were finally broker
open and four streams met the fier.
foe. which was then quickly subdued.

comes here with such complete stage
setting, and those who have not seen the

row at the matinee. The sale of seats
for these dates is already large, and it is
evident that the total business for the

the company goes to San Diego and it ia
certain that good business will be done
there as well as here. The matinee to.

his salary for months and had been the
victim of gross injustice. When the
performance to-day was ready to begin
the orchestra refused to play until the
payment due to them was made, and the

erly owned by Henry Willard, but now
it is the property of the Oregon Trans

CHICAGO. June l6.-The exciting
scenes OF yesterday aud of the day be-
fore were not witnessed at the opening
of the Board this morning. 1t was given
out that Kershaw would announce at IL
o'clock whether he would be able to
meet the claims against him. 1t is gen
orally conceded that everything depends
on Kershaw's action. There were ru.
mors of impending failures, but every
thing awaited an announcement by ker.
shaw. July wheat opened at 73c, and
huctuated between that figure and
1910. 1t was said that meeting of the
directors of the Board would be held
for the purpose of considering the situa-
tion. An effort will be made then by
the creditors of kershaw to induce the
directors to force Eggleston to assume
the responsibility of Kershaw's debts.
Eggleston is millionaire, who has, it is
said, been a special partner of Kershaw
for some time. 1t is also rumored that a
long conference was held in Armour's
office this morning, at which efforts
were made to induce Armour to put up
the money to carry Kershaw through.
The result of the conference is not known.
coNTRA-sUITs.
J. b. Wiltshire, the Cincinnati speeu.
lator so intimately connected with the
collapsed wheat corner, began suit in
the Superior Court to-day against Mau.
rice Rosenfeld and Frank johnson,
charging them with breach of contract.
Two million dollars damages is claimed,
and Rosenfeld yesterday began suit for
a million against Wiltshire.
HEAVILY EMBARRASSED.
Victor w. Mcfarland has commenced
a suit against b. j. McCleary for S25, ,0e0
and has secured an attachment. Rum
sey & Chandler afterwards took out an
against McCleary for
SIS, 900. and this was followed by several
smaller suits. Attachments seemed to
be the order of the day, and there was
a rush after the kershaw. firm, against
whom suits aggregating S500.000 were
brought. Referring to. Wiltshire
suit against Rosenfeld for two millions,
Frank johnson, of the latter firm, said
TO reporter: "This is but other step
in the game of bluff they have been
playing since Monday morning. Liti-
cation will be beneficial to US and inju-
rious to them." J. j. Bryant < Co.,
who suspended, were carrying 500, 900
bushels of cash wheat for Kershaw, and
are probably solvent, but their money is
tied up"
